I switched out a VX1S in a Quicksilver V (luxV vari-brite) with a WX0S. And the light is brighter (Very bright!) and whiter, but it also runs cooler....
It used to get quite hot, but now it runs pretty cool. I've used arctic silver, polished the mating aluminum surfaces and everything seems to be ok.
Even when touching the metal on the star-heatsink it isn't hot, just warm.
The light supplies 6.05-6.10V to the led with both bins and should be running the LuxV well. It did put out about 80 lumens on Quickbeams test and my guesstimate of the light before modding would be about that.
Now it puts out a lot more light, but it also seems to run a lot cooler....
